Jersey Shore, Gettysburg, Philadelphia, Virginia, And South Carolina
Another procrastinators post with a quick 5 state update… After NY we downgraded to the Jersey Shore. The MTV show “Jersey Shore” did a good job polishing that turd. It was pretty run down and had clientele to match. We had one of the “nicer” hotels in the area. Other people seemed to know this…

Maine, Boston, Connecticut, And New York
4 state catch up post… we have been having too much fun to post. After New Hampshire we made it to Maine and did what typical tourists would do. We went out on a lobster boat and caught lunch. Picked the best lobsters out of the bunch… hauled them to a local restaurant… and ate…

New Hampshire And The Cog Railway At Mt. Washington
After losing our shirts in PA we pointed the car towards Maine and drove through Vermont and New Hampshire. Pictures won’t do justice to the colors of the trees as they turn. Simply amazing scenery. On this leg of the trip we had a constant drizzly rain which made it even tougher to get good…

Wisconsin To Michigan
It’s been awhile and we are a little behind on updates. We ended up going to the Harley Davidson Museum before leaving Wisconsin. They have a large collection from their history and we were able to roll some tandem scooter action. We headed out to Michigan and couldn’t find a room for over 100 miles.…

Milwaukee And The Old Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery
We made it to Milwaukee. Spent two nights in the old Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery building. One of the buildings is now an amazing hotel that has kept much of the history in tact (see the original copper kettles from the 1890’s). Can’t think of a better place to stay in Milwaukee. We were lucky…

Wisconsin
Went to Wisconsin and ate some cheese. Thought it would be cool to see the cows that the milk came from so it was off to a tour at the Hincheley’s farm. We not only got to milk a cow, and see one pee, but we also were able to feed and hangout with other…

Mt Rushmore, Summit Brewery, And Not Much More…
Made it to Mt Rushmore. The picture says it all. Funny billboards out here… one of them pictured below on the way to Minnesota. Everything seems bigger out here, especially the chairs. Went to Summit Brewery in St. Paul, MN. The beer was OK… the tour was bleh. Steve still managed to find some entertainment…

Shoshone Lodge Near Yellowstone Park
Arrived at the East entrance of Yellowstone Park and made Shoshone Lodge our home for two days. Hiked scared for 6 miles in grizzly bear territory. We each held on to a can of bear spray and looked backwards anytime we stepped on a twig. There were grizzly bear (and black bear) tracks everywhere and…

Dropped Off Little Russ And Pointed The Car Towards Wyoming
Little Russ you will be missed. Left you in Spokane but there will always be an extra seat in the wagon if you decide to meet up later down the road. Drove a lot after Spokane. Hit up the Glacier National Park in Montana. Loading some pictures but they don’t do the area justice. Crazy…

A Few More Details On The Long Road Trip For Those Who Are Interested…
Who? – Me (Russ) and Steve. We have been good friends for many years and hope we can still remain friends after so much time together on the road. Keep in mind Steve wanted to fight me when he first met me. I’m still not sure what that was about. I think he was still…
